| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| -p\<plant ID>    | Enter plant identification. This parameter must always be specified. Note Take great care to use the correct case during parameter input, as entries are case-sensitive.                                                                                                                             |
| -a\<archivename> | Name and path of the archive file to be created. If this is not used, the archive name is assigned automatically.                                                                                                                                                                                    |

#### Default parameter

`acsafe.exe -t0 -d+ -g+ -vd1`

#### Example:

`acsafe.exe -pDEMOSTD -aC:\Backup\archive.zip -t2 -vd10`

In the above example a backup of a default demo plant is saved to the directory `C:\Backup` under the name `archive.zip`, with only the measurement data from the last 10 days being backed up.

Note

In the Powershell (as in all other shells) no programs can be started from the current directory. The "dot backslash `.\`" or "dot slash `./`" combination prefix must be entered for the purpose.

Example: .`\acrondesigner.exe`

That is not necessary on the DOS command line, but it does work too.
